I prepared dc7700 using MBR/dos partition table & single partition (done using gparted on hiruste live).
Did a QA-test install equivalent to comment #9 except partitioning was done using gparted before ubiquity was run. (MBR/dos partition table, single partition being sda1) (representing my many boxes that have MBR/dos partition tables & four primary partitions, and an upgrade-via-re-install; thus no-format was selected on sda1. I did get warning about old files impacting install, but partition was empty (valid warning given how I'm using it though) grub-install failed & system failed to boot. no warning messages as per my last comment #17 for comments written as I QA-test refer to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/419/builds/229742/testcases/1302/results/ alas I forgot to `mount |grep target` as I've done some of my prior installs, but on screen all reported boot loader was going to sda (disk) not sdb (installation-media-thumb-drive) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924823 Title: ESP on install medium automatically configured as ESP for install, failing install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1924823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
